From Burnout to Balance: Creating a Business That Honors Your Life W/ Kelly Leardon
What if growing your business didn’t mean working around the clock or burning yourself out?
In this episode of Creative Minds Smart Money, I’m joined by the incredible Kelly from Walk Like Warriors, who shares how she grew a $110K business in under a year with less than 1,000 followers all while honoring her time, her brain, and her values.
If you’ve ever felt like your business was running you instead of the other way around, this episode is the reset you need.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ Kelly’s story: from corporate burnout to six-figure coaching
✅How ADHD-friendly systems helped her reclaim her time
✅The biggest lie about success and long hours
✅Why “working more” ≠ making more
✅Her daily and weekly structure that saves 8+ hours per week
✅What to do when your business starts feeling heavy
✅How to delegate with confidence (and without guilt)
✅What it really means to show up online and sell authentically
✅Why your values not the algorithm should shape your business
This isn’t your typical “build your biz” convo. This is real talk, real strategy, and real permission to build in a way that actually feels good.
